Date: 21 August 1998Name:Deborah BonanniWhere are you from?: vacaville, CAYears aboard Gurke: N/AComments: I never served aboard the USS Gurke, but find it utterly amazing that I have never heard of it before. My maiden name is Gurke, and I know there are very few of us in the United States. I am now embarked on a search to learn as much as I can about the ship. Any assistance you can provide will be much appreciated.

Date: 3 August 1998Name:Louis H. MickWhere are you from?: Newport News, VAYears aboard Gurke: 1946-1948Comments: My Dad Harvey Morey contacted Louis today for the first time in over 50 years and with his permission I have entered his name in this log so that he may be contacted for the next reunion. We are trying to look up other crew members.
I would like to add that my Dad had a fantastic time at the last reunion.
Thanks,
Dave Morey
